As $500,000,000 Woes Loom Over Stephen Curry?s Warriors, Klay Thompson?s Latest Demands Sends NBA Fans into a Meltdown: ?Blow the Team Up?

The Golden State Warriors started their playoff journey against the Sacramento Kings on a sad note as they lost the game by three points. Needless to say, if the Warriors want to win consecutive titles this season, they would need their star players Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to be at their best. However, it seems like all’s not merry in paradise as Klay Thompson makes the news for his ambitious demands amid the Dubs’ $500 million concerns.

Klay Thompson has returned to form after back-to-back career-ending injuries and has been averaging a decent 21 points per game this regular season. Klay’s contribution in the postseason will be crucial if the Warriors are to contend for the top prize this season. However, the Dubs might find it hard to meet Thompson’s demands this season.

Klay’s rumored demands sent fans into a spiral

According to Adrian Wojnowski, sources report that Klay is expecting a max-level contract extension this off-season after the playoffs end. No one can deny the contributions Klay has made over the years helping the Golden State Warriors to establish one of the most successful dynasties in the history of the league.

Klay just recovered from a brutal ACL tear and is thirty-three years of age. The duration of a max contract is of five years. It’s highly unlikely that Golden State is going to pay him the big bucks at this juncture of his career despite his contributions to the organization. Moreover, the Dubs’ projected luxury tax account of a staggering $500 million is also expected to act as an impediment.

Fans were quick to comment on the startling report. Here are some of the top fan reactions on social media when this news broke out.

It’s safe to say the Golden State fans don’t think rewarding Klay with a max contract is the best thing to do for the team.

Well Klay’s contract extension will depend upon the outcome of this season’s playoffs and his individual performance over the course of the tournament. It will be interesting to see how the team performs in the upcoming games.
